In this edition we hear from Tom Moody, the Vipers’ Director of Cricket, two days out from the side’s opening match of season three, against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in Abu Dhabi on Sunday the 12th of January.

We spoke with Tom to reflect upon the Vipers encouraging warm-up match against the Gulf Giants and Tom reflects on that performance and what it means for the days ahead.

He also discusses the arrivals of several of the team’s big guns, including new captain Lockie Ferguson, batters Dan Lawrence, Sherfane Rutherford, and Alex Hales and all-rounders Kusal Malla and Wanindu Hasaranga and what that means for selection and for the team dynamic.

And Tom speaks at length about the value he believes the league is providing for UAE players to develop their games alongside some of the world’s best talents.

There’s a hint of three about the make-up of the side for that opening match in Abu Dhabi and his assessment of the opposition for that first match of the tournament for the Vipers.

As ever with Tom, it’s thoroughly engaging stuff and well worth your time.
